Horace’s original poem advises us to trust as little as possible in tomorrow, highlighting the brief and unpredictable nature of time.Throughout history, carpe diem has inspired generatio...2025-04-1602 min
Herrick Does ThatCity of Yes for Housing Opportunity: Improving the Ability to Transfer a Landmark’s Development Rights New York City real estate owners and developers have long asked Herrick about transferring unused development rights from an individual landmark to a site across the street, through a 74-79 Special Permit issued by the City Planning Commission (CPC).
